Not quite. See, the problem I have run into now is with driver support and the proper ASIC. It would be possible for me to hack the drivers, I just haven't looked into it. If the drivers are anything like nVidia drivers, its as simple as re-writing one little file, and all should be well. However, as it stands, the drivers don't think I have VIVO support on the card, so they aren't going to attempt to install any VIVO capabilities (the VIVO WDM package).

Don't forget about the Radeon VIVO card I killed last spring However, I got the 8500LE as an RMA for it heheeheheh

Already hacked the main drivers (display drivers, Cat 2.2). Not that it really mattered though, because I'm able to force it to load the AIW 8500 drivers in the first place. Now it will just do it by default. Still working on the VIVO WDMs though...

Theoretically its all very possible. But we all know how easily theories can get miffed in the computer industry..

Couldn't you slap in a Radeon 8500 All-in-Wonder install the drivers, then take it back to where you got it. Then just slap in your mod'd card and the drivers should still be there right? You might check out the registry settings on someone else's computer and what DLL files are where and manually set up the drivers. The MMC does not actually require any hardware to install. I installed it on my Celeron 900 and Voodoo3. It *****ed at me, but still worked fine.
